We open all presents here in Denmark (and most of Europe?). Like, it's almost the whole point of Christmas Eve (to a kid).
Thought thematically it makes zero sense. Like, with Santa and all

We tried to wait, managed longer than last year, first opening one on 20th but opened the rest on yesterday.

That's funny. I'm guessing it's maybe because you don't hold like a big function, with people coming from a ways away on that specific date, and opening anything or giving anything spoils the point of their trip?

Nah it's just us and my brother&his family who live right next door
And they dont really do gifts

Typically, no. My mom tends to give me pajamas early because she can't wait or doesn't want to wrap them and so I feel like unwrapping something early would be a bit excessive
ornate hornet
Nah
sharp cargo
no, you have to wait until christmas morning, which starts at 3 am

My family opens 1 gift on Christmas Eve and the rest on Christmas Day. The 1 gift can be any gift you pick at random.

What a strange tradition, I'm kind of mindblown
